Highland Country Club
About Highland Country Club
Highland Country Club dates to 1915, built in the highlands of what later became Fort Thomas, Kentucky. The course was laid out across the region's rolling hills by architects William Diddel and Arthur Hills, and plays through tree-lined fairways with views of the downtown Cincinnati skyline. Multiple sets of tees allow golfers of varying ability to find a suitable length, while still presenting a test on repeat rounds.

The club is a private, family-oriented facility whose membership extends beyond golf. Summer amenities include an Olympic-size swimming pool with a separate diving well and a kiddie pool, and a four-lane bowling alley is available in the off-season. Indoor and outdoor food and beverage seating areas are on site, and the clubhouse setting is also used for events and private functions.
